how to take backup from tfs server to local system using ssis
we are using a TFS Server for all the development task. i want that one can directly take the backup of specific project from server to their respective local system by using SSIS package. pls help me to achieve this thanks
When you [back up Team Foundation server][1], you don't back up on a per-project basis. If you have one collection for a number of projects, all of the projects are located in TFS_*CollectionName*. Unless I'm misunderstanding you, you don't need to take a backup of a project directly from TFS and restore it to a local system. TFS is **not** a distributed source control system like Git. It is a centralized source control system, meant to run in one centralized location. If you want to get the project locally, you should use a TFS plug-in (like the one for Visual Studio) to retrieve items. I know that the Visual Studio plugin will also allow you to retrieve older changesets, so you could revert your local project set to a previous date: that's the Get Specific Version option you see when you right-click a folder in the Source Control Explorer.
